STARKVILLE, Miss - At least 16 states have come up with new regulations to prevent hunters from transporting deer from areas where deer have tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease. The state also forbids hunters from transporting any part of a deer's spinal column. DEADLY 'ZOMBIE' DEER DISEASE COULD POSSIBLY SPREAD TO HUMANS, EXPERTS WARNThe professor said people have spread the disease by transporting deer they’ve harvested in one state, processing it in another state and discarding the carcass locally. The state’s Wildlife and Fishing Commission has since made regulatory changes including establishing a CWD management zone in three counties throughout the state. “We encourage hunters to continue to do what you’ve always done and go out there and hunt and harvest deer,” Walsh said.
